The Bill Kelly PodcastWhy Are We Talking About Alberta Separation?What are Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s motivations for stoking the flames of Western separation? Could it be to distract from her own administration’s controversies? Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is feeding off the anger many Western Canadians have towards Ottawa for political expediency, stoking the flames of Canadian separation rather than trying to “turn the temperature down”, as she claimed in a recent press conference. Is this anger towards Ottawa justified, and is it a good reason to separate from the rest of Canada? What would it look like for Alberta if they did separate from Confederation?
